UCSC Emeriti Luncheon Lectures

Each luncheon meeting of the UCSC Emeriti Group features an informal talk of about 30-40 minutes. Generally these are about ongoing research of one of our emeriti or of an active faculty member of UCSC that is still employed. The chair selects the speakers and introduces them. This page will record past luncheon lectures. If you know speakers or titles not listed here please notify Chair Todd Wipke by email.
